FINAL CONCLUSIONS
WRAPPING UP… Today’s educational approaches fortunately seem to be focusing more on Project based work, although it is not always the case in every school or learning institution. When I first tried an online course for my professional development my intentions were not only to develop my professional skills but also to be part of a group of students in the situation of being taught totally online. I wanted to experience it myself before I would apply it with my students. And it was awesome! I could not believe what globalization, broad band and digital communication would give me as a student and later as a teacher. So I thought to myself, now I have to put it into practice, and in all occasions I could, I tried to include a bit of technology. Last year, for example, with the influenza epidemic, it was not only useful but also necessary to be able to manage the TICS so that we can keep contact with our students from home, allowing them to get in touch with the schools and the teachers
5 Reasons Why I'd like to Try Blogging
When I think about teaching the TICs come to my mind, so as to catch my students' attention to the fact that learning is fun, is modern, connects to everything and gives them power, the power of knowledge. So if you asked me why I'd like to try blogging I would say: 1) Blogging is an excellent tool to enhanced reading and writing. 2) You can include all kinds of material and links in a blog. 3) Both students and teachers can take different roles in the construction of a blog, that is to say, they can be moderators, writers, commenters, etc. 4) Blogging in English might allow a class to communicate to any people in the world as it is a widespread highly used language internationally. 5) Using a blog can also help us as a class to have a kind of backup or small library of material, resources, portfolios, social events, calendars of events; which in time will be helpful for other groups of students.
